Albert Einstein is often credited as saying, “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” The quote’s true origins are unknown, but the sentiment has a Facebook-shareable quality to it and has gained traction as modern attitudes toward education grow and shift.
In this episode we chat with the author of The Brave Learner and Raising Critical Thinkers, Julie Bogart. Julie draws on years of research and experience to discuss the flaws in our educational system exposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. School closures and distance learning have also offered families an opportunity to evaluate the direction of today’s schooling practices, and many agree: It’s time for change.
Topics Covered:
- The longstanding vulnerabilities in our educational system and the harm ultimately caused by standardized testing and teaching practices
- The uptick in homeschooling that has resulted from the pandemic and continues even as restrictions lift
- How can parents help cultivate a dynamic and diverse learning experience for children?
- Training our own critical thinking skills by interrogating our gut reactions
- Why it’s good to disagree
- Technology’s role in learning and the importance of unplugging regularly
